The thing about that bike is... it doesn't make the engine any more capable.diggerdantheman wrote: Will have to catch you first...

Aiming for a sub 3.5 hour ride depending on the wind!
How's everyone else's preparations going?

Chuckling at the 7.5kg bike above... I weighed my 19 year Shogun a couple of weeks ago... 15kg... I would worry about if more if I wasn't 20kg overweight myself...

Weather permitting I should do close to that amount again on Monday. Then a fairly easy week just commuting for three days.

Good work there Jason, I got a PB thru the Tennis Centre this morning and did ok on the shop ride before heading to do the Loop.
Weather permitting I'm heading for Springbrook on Monday...every time I plan this ride it rains This will be the third time I've planned to get this ride done, third time lucky hopefully!

Wow, my 30 year old Vertex is only 10.6kgs (ready to ride, without bidons), besides the CF bidon cages & Ti wheels skewers I've not made any real attempts to keep it or get it light. I would have thought a full CF beastie would be way lighter than that.

Can someone down there report it? They might get the street sweepers through there?PB12IN wrote:Went out and rode up to Yatla and back this morning. nice 100km just to make sure that I can still do it, seeing as I haven't done over 50km since March.

The retro guys are doing it on steel in the 25+ group if you want to join. As Wal has mentioned before it will be a casual ride with lots of chat and not much competition. Reply here if interested, I have a friend who will be on a near new Scott Addict so carbon is tolerated, oops I mean welcome,

The 25+ pack is supposed to leave at 5.45am, probably like most years the 30+ pack will still be leaving when the next group are supposed to start, etc right through the whole lot. The ride starts on Grey Street heading north then turn left onto Melbourne St. then left into the busway, coming out on Miles Platting Road.
I guess the retro guys should try to stay on the left hand gutter just in case we have any mechanicals or have to pick up 'late' arrivals along the way, any late arrivals should probably be ready to ride & sitting somewhere near South Brisbane Railway station on the footpath or just around the corner on Melbourne St in a similar place ready to join before we head off down the busway.
For those who will be 'on time' I guess we meet at our usual Raturday meeting place then ride over, probably sometime around 5am to head over to the start about 5.15am.
With any luck, munga should have received the jersey's, so we may have to do a quick change before the start.
Any other details we'll either sort out by text or through our page during the week & confirm all plans on Raturday.
Oh, you all missed it today, I shaved the sides so was riding today with a set of mutton chops ala` Wiggo , be doing 'ill pirato' next weekend.
Carry on with what you were doing, that's all.
